NBA Finals Game 4 2024/2025 Expert Tips and Best Bets | June 14

Surprisingly to many, the Indiana Pacers are leading the NBA Finals two games to one. Indiana was brilliant in game three to take the series advantage. Game four however, we expect to be different. We like OKC to tie up the series with Luguentz Dort scoring 10 or more. For Indiana, we’re looking for Bennedict Mathurin to keep the hot hand and drop 12+ points.

Thunder ML | $1.42 @ Betfocus

Oklahoma City is in a position most did not expect as they head into game four with the risk of going down 3-1. However, the Thunder haven’t lost back-to-back games all postseason long, and right now is not the time to start doing so. The Thunder are 5-0 after a loss in the playoffs, including a game four win over Denver that was a strikingly similar situation to what they find themselves in now. The Pacers have proven that the basketball world underestimated them, but OKC is still an elite team, and we don’t expect they’ll go down without a fight. At $1.42 on Betfocus, we like the Thunder moneyline.

Luguentz Dort 10+ Points | $1.85 @ PlayUp

Luguentz Dort is one of the best defenders in the league, and OKC’s main matchup for Tyrese Haliburton. He also has a burden on offense being that he must hit open threes. The Pacers and others in the playoffs have shown a willingness to leave Dort open, and the results have been mixed. After a poor stretch of shooting spanning most of the WCF, Dort has found his range again. In his past four games he has cleared the 10 point mark three times. NBA betting sites are offering solid odds for this trend to continue and at $1.85 on PlayUp we love the pick.

Bennedict Mathurin 12+ Points $2.00 @ Betright

Bennedict Mathurin was a huge part of the Pacers offense all season long. In the playoffs, he has seen his productivity come and go, but he is coming on at the right time. After a disappointing game one, he scored 14 in game two and led all scorers in game three with 27. Mathurin is a different player when his confidence is high, and after that performance, it should be through the roof. We like him to keep up his aggression and get his shots up in game four. The value here is great as Betright has him at $2.00 for 12 or more points, a number we think he’ll reach with ease.
